<p>Chromosomal rearrangements of the human
<italic>MLL</italic>
(mixed lineage leukemia) gene are associated with high-risk infant, pediatric, adult and therapy-induced acute leukemias. We used long-distance inverse-polymerase chain reaction to characterize the chromosomal rearrangement of individual acute leukemia patients. We present data of the molecular characterization of 1590
<italic>MLL</italic>
-rearranged biopsy samples obtained from acute leukemia patients. The precise localization of genomic breakpoints within the
<italic>MLL</italic>
gene and the involved translocation partner genes (TPGs) were determined and novel TPGs identified. All patients were classified according to their gender (852 females and 745 males), age at diagnosis (558 infant, 416 pediatric and 616 adult leukemia patients) and other clinical criteria. Combined data of our study and recently published data revealed a total of 121 different
<italic>MLL</italic>
rearrangements, of which 79 TPGs are now characterized at the molecular level. However, only seven rearrangements seem to be predominantly associated with illegitimate recombinations of the
<italic>MLL</italic>
gene (∼90%):
<italic>AFF1/AF4</italic>
,
<italic>MLLT3/AF9</italic>
,
<italic>MLLT1/ENL</italic>
,
<italic>MLLT10/AF10</italic>
,
<italic>ELL</italic>
, partial tandem duplications (
<italic>MLL</italic>
PTDs) and
<italic>MLLT4/AF6</italic>
, respectively. The
<italic>MLL</italic>
breakpoint distributions for all clinical relevant subtypes (gender, disease type, age at diagnosis, reciprocal, complex and therapy-induced translocations) are presented. Finally, we present the extending network of reciprocal
<italic>MLL</italic>
fusions deriving from complex rearrangements.</p>

<p>Chromosomal rearrangements of the human
<italic>MLL</italic>
(mixed lineage leukemia) gene are associated with high-risk infant, pediatric, adult and therapy-induced acute leukemias. We used long-distance inverse-polymerase chain reaction to characterize the chromosomal rearrangement of individual acute leukemia patients. We present data of the molecular characterization of 1590
<italic>MLL</italic>
-rearranged biopsy samples obtained from acute leukemia patients. The precise localization of genomic breakpoints within the
<italic>MLL</italic>
gene and the involved translocation partner genes (TPGs) were determined and novel TPGs identified. All patients were classified according to their gender (852 females and 745 males), age at diagnosis (558 infant, 416 pediatric and 616 adult leukemia patients) and other clinical criteria. Combined data of our study and recently published data revealed a total of 121 different
<italic>MLL</italic>
rearrangements, of which 79 TPGs are now characterized at the molecular level. However, only seven rearrangements seem to be predominantly associated with illegitimate recombinations of the
<italic>MLL</italic>
gene (∼90%):
<italic>AFF1/AF4</italic>
,
<italic>MLLT3/AF9</italic>
,
<italic>MLLT1/ENL</italic>
,
<italic>MLLT10/AF10</italic>
,
<italic>ELL</italic>
, partial tandem duplications (
<italic>MLL</italic>
PTDs) and
<italic>MLLT4/AF6</italic>
, respectively. The
<italic>MLL</italic>
breakpoint distributions for all clinical relevant subtypes (gender, disease type, age at diagnosis, reciprocal, complex and therapy-induced translocations) are presented. Finally, we present the extending network of reciprocal
<italic>MLL</italic>
fusions deriving from complex rearrangements.</p>

<title>Introduction</title>
<p>Chromosomal rearrangements involving the human
<italic>MLL</italic>
(mixed lineage leukemia) gene are recurrently associated with the disease phenotype of acute leukemias.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib1">1</xref>
,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib2">2</xref>
</sup>
The presence of distinct
<italic>MLL</italic>
rearrangements is an independent dismal prognostic factor, while very few
<italic>MLL</italic>
rearrangements display either a good or intermediate outcome.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib3">3</xref>
,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib4">4</xref>
</sup>
It became also clear from recent studies that the follow-up of patients during therapy by minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring has a very strong impact on outcome.

,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib6">6</xref>
,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib7">7</xref>
</sup>
For this purpose, we established a diagnostic network that allowed different study groups and clinical centers to obtain genomic
<italic>MLL</italic>
breakpoint sequences that can be directly used for quantifying MRD levels in patients. The current work flow to identify
<italic>MLL</italic>
rearrangements includes a prescreening step (cytogenetic analyses,
<sup>

</sup>
or reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in combination with long-distance inverse-PCR that was performed on small amounts (∼1 μg) of isolated genomic DNA.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib13">13</xref>
</sup>
This allowed us to identify readily reciprocal translocations, complex chromosomal rearrangements, gene-internal duplications, deletions or inversions on chromosome 11q, and
<italic>MLL</italic>
gene insertions into other chromosomes, or
<italic>vice versa</italic>
, the insertion of chromatin material into the
<italic>MLL</italic>
gene.</p>
<p>To gain insight into the frequency of distinct
<italic>MLL</italic>
rearrangements, all prescreened samples of infant, pediatric and adult leukemia patients was sent for analysis to the Frankfurt Diagnostic Center of Acute Leukemia (DCAL). Prescreening tests were performed at different European centers (Aarhus, Berlin, Bordeaux, Bratislava, Brest, Bristol, Catania, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Giessen, Granada, Graz, Grenoble, Haifa, Hamburg, Hanover, Heidelberg, Jena, Jerusalem, Kiel, Lille, Lisbon, Madrid, Minsk, Montpellier, Monza, Munster, Munich, Nancy, Nantes, Newcastle upon Tyne, Olomouc, Padua, Paris, Porto, Prague, Reims, Rotterdam, Tampere, Tel Hashomer, Toulouse, Turku, Tubingen, Vienna, Yekaterinburg, Zabrze and Zurich) and centers located outside of Europe (Boston, Buenos Aires, Hong Kong, Houston, Rio de Janeiro, Seoul, Sydney and Tohoku), where acute leukemia patients are enrolled in different study groups. All prescreened
<italic>MLL</italic>
rearrangements were successfully analyzed at the Frankfurt DCAL and patient-specific
<italic>MLL</italic>
fusion sequences for MRD monitoring were obtained.</p>
<p>On the basis of the results obtained in this and previous studies,
<sup>

</sup>
a total of 79 direct translocation partner genes (TPGs) and their specific breakpoint regions have now been identified. Seven additional loci have been cloned where the 5′-portion of
<italic>MLL</italic>
was not fused to another gene. In 19 other cases, we were not able to identify a der(11) fusion gene. This could be either attributed to a technical problem (such as a too long genomic fragment) or to the fact that no der(11) exists in these few patients. However, in all of these 19 cases, we successfully identified a reciprocal
<italic>MLL</italic>
fusion allele. The latter subgroup was allocated to the group of ‘complex
<italic>MLL</italic>
rearrangements' (
<italic>n</italic>
=182) because of the extending class of ‘reciprocal
<italic>MLL</italic>
fusion genes' (63 loci, 119 fusion genes). Finally, there were still 35 chromosomal translocations of the human
<italic>MLL</italic>
gene that were characterized in the past by cytogenetic methods, but that were never analyzed at the molecular level. Thus, the
<italic>MLL</italic>
recombinome presently comprises 121 different ‘direct TPGs' (decoding the MLL N terminus), whereas the 182 ‘reciprocal TPGs' (decoding the MLL C terminus) derive from complex rearrangements that involved already known ‘direct TPGs'. It is worth noting that in nearly all of the investigated cases the 3′-
<italic>MLL</italic>
gene portion was not lost, except the very few cases (
<italic>n</italic>
=4 out of 1622) that were interstitial deletions at 11q23 causing a direct fusion of the 5′-
<italic>MLL</italic>
gene portion with a gene portion localized telomeric to
<italic>MLL</italic>
, or where we were able to demonstrate that only an
<italic>MLL</italic>
spliced fusion exists (
<italic>n</italic>
=3 out of 1622). Besides the number of direct and reciprocal
<italic>MLL</italic>
fusions, we tried to analyze all available patient data for interesting association between age, sex, disease type, secondary leukemia and breakpoint localization. All these data and their analyses is here presented and discussed.</p>

<p>Genomic DNA was isolated from bone marrow and/or peripheral blood samples of leukemia patients and sent to the DCAL (Frankfurt/Main, Germany). Patient samples were obtained from study groups (the AMLCG-study group, Munich; the GMALL study group, Berlin; Polish Pediatric Leukemia and Lymphoma Study Group; Zabrze; I-BFM network) or other diagnostic centers (Aarhus, Berlin, Bordeaux, Boston, Bratislava, Brest, Bristol, Buenos Aires, Catania, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Giessen, Granada, Graz, Grenoble, Haifa, Hamburg, Hanover, Heidelberg, Hong Kong, Houston, Jena, Jerusalem, Kiel, Lille, Lisbon, Madrid, Minsk, Montpellier, Monza, Munster, Munich, Nancy, Nantes, Newcastle upon Tyne, Olomouc, Padua, Paris, Porto, Prague, Reims, Rio de Janeiro, Rotterdam, Seoul, Sydney, Tampere, Tel Hashomer, Tohoku, Toulouse, Turku, Tubingen, Vienna, Yekaterinburg, Zabrze and Zurich).

Briefly, 1 μg genomic patient DNA was digested with restriction enzymes and religated to form DNA circles before long-distance inverse-PCR analyses. Restriction polymorphic PCR amplimers were isolated from the gel and subjected to DNA sequence analyses to obtain the patient-specific fusion sequences. This genomic DNA fusion sequence is idiosyncratic for each leukemia patient and was made available to the sender of the DNA sample. The average processing time was around five working days.</p>

<title>Data evaluation and statistical analyses</title>
<p>All clinical and experimental patient data were implemented into a database program (FileMaker Pro) for further analysis. Information about all individual patients was used to compare all defined subgroups and to perform statistical analyses to retrieve important information or significant correlations.

<title>The study cohort</title>
<p>To analyze the recombinome of the human
<italic>MLL</italic>
gene, 1622 prescreened acute leukemia samples were obtained from the above-mentioned centers over a period of one decade (2003–2013). Successful analysis of the direct
<italic>MLL</italic>
fusion could be performed for all patient samples except 19 cases, where only a reciprocal
<italic>MLL</italic>
fusion allele could be characterized. In these cases we identified only the reciprocal
<italic>MLL</italic>
fusion allele to guarantee MRD experiments. Of those 1622 cases, 1590 entered this study because we obtained all the critical information that was necessary for data processing (gender, age at diagnosis, disease type and subtype or information about
<italic>de novo</italic>
or secondary leukemia). A total of 32 cases was excluded from our study because relevant information about these patients were missing; they had the following

, the age distribution is quite similar to the expected age distribution known from different cancer registries. Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) incidence has a peak at the age of 2–3 years, and then decreases with age and increases again in older adults. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients display a small peak at 2 years, decline and then steadily increases with age. For the purpose of our study, we separated our cohort into an ‘infant acute leukemia group' (0–12 months;
<italic>n</italic>
=558: 440 ALL, 105 AML, 13 N/A), a ‘pediatric acute leukemia group' (13 months–18 years;
<italic>n</italic>
=416: 205 ALL, 202 AML, 9 N/A) and an ‘adult acute leukemia patient' group (>18 years;
<italic>n</italic>
=616: 333 ALL, 272 AML, 11 N/A). As shown in
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1">Figure 1</xref>
, we also added information about therapy-induced leukemia (TIL;
<italic>n</italic>
=77). Thirty-three patients could not be simply categorized into ‘ALL' or ‘AML' because they received other diagnoses (MLL=18; myelodysplastic syndrome=5, primary myelofibrosis=1; lymphoma=2) or because we had simply no informations from the corresponding center (unknown disease type=7).</p>

<title>Breakpoint distribution according to clinical subtypes</title>
<p>We also investigated the distribution of chromosomal breakpoints within the
<italic>MLL</italic>
breakpoint cluster region in all investigated clinical subgroups. Briefly, the breakpoint cluster region is localizing between
<italic>MLL</italic>
exon 9 and
<italic>MLL</italic>
intron 11, where the majority of patients had their individual breakpoints (
<italic>n</italic>
=1530). Only sixty patients (3.8%) had their breakpoint outside of the major breakpoint cluster region (see
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="sup1">Supplementary Table S1</xref>
).</p>
<p>Of interest, recently published clinical studies put a new focus on chromosomal breakpoint localization: the distribution of chromosomal breakpoints within the
<italic>MLL</italic>
breakpoint cluster region was correlated with the outcome of
<italic>MLL</italic>
-rearranged leukemia patients.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib18">18</xref>
</sup>
Basically, the outcome of leukemia patients with breakpoint in
<italic>MLL</italic>
intron 11 was worse compared to those patients with upstream breakpoints. A rational explanation for this observation came from the PHD1–3 domain, which is encoded by
<italic>MLL</italic>
exons 11–16. This domain confers oligomerization
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib19">19</xref>
</sup>
and was described to bind to the CYP33/PPIE protein.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib20">20</xref>
,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib21">21</xref>
</sup>
In addition, the PHD3 domain binds either to CYP33/PPIE or to methylated lysine-4 residues of histone H3.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib22">22</xref>
</sup>
Binding of PHD3 to H3K4
<sub>me2/3</sub>
peptides is greatly enhanced by the adjacent bromo-domain,
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib23">23</xref>
</sup>
but CYP33/PPIE represents a prolyl-peptidyl isomerase and performs a
<italic>cis–trans</italic>
isomerization of the proline-1665 residue. This
<italic>cis-to-trans</italic>
conversion is mutual exclusive with H3K4
<sub>me2/3</sub>
binding by the PHD3 domain. By contrast, a CYP33/PPIE-bound PHD3 enables binding to BMI1 and associated repressor proteins (HDAC/CBX4/KDM5B), and thus switches the human MLL protein from a transcriptional activator/maintenance factor to a transcriptional repressor. It is worth noting that the adjacent bromo-domain binds to ASB2 and triggers the degradation of MLL.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib24">24</xref>
</sup>
Similarly, a recent publication demonstrated that the PHD2 domain also binds another E3 ligase, named CDC34, which controls again the steady-state stability of the MLL protein.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib25">25</xref>
</sup>
</p>
<p>Breakpoints upstream of
<italic>MLL</italic>
exon 11 will not alter the domain structure and the associated functions of the PHD1–3 domain, whereas breakpoints within
<italic>MLL</italic>
exon 11 or intron 11 will definitively destroy this cysteine–histidine-rich domain, most likely because of an alternative protein fold.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib18">18</xref>
</sup>
This will have several effects on the functions of the resulting fusion proteins, like for example, losing the oligomerization capacity, an increased fusion protein stability or losing the ability to switch into a transcriptional repressor (CYP33→BMI1/HDAC/CBX4/KDM5B).
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib26">26</xref>
</sup>
As this should impact cancer biology and clinical behavior, we started to analyze the breakpoint distribution for all clinical subgroups and compared them with the mean distribution observed for all 1590 patients. We decided not to use a random distribution of breakpoints because this will be based only on the length of each DNA region, but will not take into account that the specific chromatin features of
<italic>MLL</italic>
intron 11 that is highly sensitive against cytotoxic drugs, exhibits a DNase1 hypersensitive site,
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib27">27</xref>
</sup>
an apoptotic cleavage site,
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib28">28</xref>
</sup>
an RNA polymerase II binding site
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib29">29</xref>
</sup>
and several topoisomerase II binding sites.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib30">30</xref>
</sup>
</p>
<p>For our analyses, we subdivided the
<italic>MLL</italic>
breakpoint cluster region into three subregions: (A) exon 9–intron 9=1761 bp; (B) exon 10–intron 10=679 bp; and (C) intron 11–intron 12=4929 bp. The observed ‘mean breakpoint frequencies' for these three regions were A=38.5%, B=19.5% and C=38.7% for all 1530 patients listed in
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="sup1">Supplementary Table S1</xref>
.</p>
<p>As shown in
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Figure 3</xref>
, we first subcategorized all patient cases according to their origin. We had 70 samples from North and South American states, 1403 samples from European countries and 117 cases from Russia, Asian countries or the Australian continent. When analyzing the breakpoint frequencies for A–C, it became obvious that the majority of patients in Europe display a breakpoint distribution that was nearly identical to the mean breakpoint frequencies mentioned above. The South American patient group was very young and displayed a nonsignificant tendency to
<italic>MLL</italic>
intron 11 breakpoints (43.5% vs 37.4%), whereas the Russian/Asian/Australian group displayed a shift towards breakpoints localizing within
<italic>MLL</italic>
intron 11 (50.43% vs 37.4%,
<italic>P</italic>
=0.138). This could neither be attributed to the mean age nor to a higher rate for secondary malignancies (6% vs 5% in Europe). Of interest, all 77 cases of our cohort that were classified as therapy-induced leukemia (TIL) displayed a breakpoint distribution of A=33.8%, B=9.5% and C=54.1%. Thus, even when a controlled exposition to drugs was causing an
<italic>MLL</italic>
rearrangement, only a maximum of 54%
<italic>MLL</italic>
intron 11 breaks could be reached. As this is the first description of such a phenomenon and we are missing demographic controls, we cannot draw any conclusions about a putative environmental or maternal exposition during pregnancy that would explain such a shift towards
<italic>MLL</italic>
intron 11 recombinations. However, when we analyzed this phenomenon in more detail (see
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="sup1">Supplementary Table S2</xref>
), we realized some remarkable differences in certain countries that are even gender specific. Currently, we have no explanations for the observed differences, but future research may help to unravel this phenomenon.</p>
<p>Another observation concerning the breakpoints localization became obvious, when we analyzed breakpoint distributions together with TPGs. As shown in
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="sup1">Supplementary Table S3</xref>
, recombinations affecting
<italic>MLLT4/AF6</italic>
and
<italic>MLLT10/AF10</italic>
display a tendency for
<italic>MLL</italic>
intron 9 breaks rather than
<italic>MLL</italic>
intron 11 breaks (
<italic>MLLT4/AF6</italic>
,
<italic>P</italic>
<0.0001;
<italic>MLLT10/AF10</italic>
,
<italic>P</italic>
=0.006). This was quite different for
<italic>AFF1/AF4</italic>
and
<italic>MLLT1/ENL</italic>
recombinations where
<italic>MLL</italic>
intron 11 breaks seem to be favored (
<italic>P</italic>
⩽0.0001). As already described above, the biological properties of the MLL PHD1–3 domain depends on the
<italic>MLL</italic>
breakpoint. Thus, all fusions occurring within
<italic>MLL</italic>
introns 9 and 10 will result in fusion proteins that are still able to oligomerize and to be controlled in its steady-state abundance like the wild-type MLL protein.
<italic>Vice versa</italic>
, recombination within
<italic>MLL</italic>
intron 11 will result in fusion proteins that could neither be degraded efficiently nor can be switched into transcriptional repressor proteins.</p>
<p>These findings also suggest that oligomerization capacity or binding to certain PHD domain-interacting proteins may be quite important for the oncogenic function exerted by MLL fusion proteins. In addition, the breakpoint distribution in infant and adult patients changes significantly: infants display a higher rate of
<italic>MLL</italic>
intron 11 breakpoints (
<italic>P</italic>
<0.0001), whereas adults display a higher rate of
<italic>MLL</italic>
intron 9 breakpoints (
<italic>P</italic>
=0.009). These findings could not be attributed to the number of cases with secondary malignancies (TIL) or any other parameter, which we listed. These data underscore the importance of the precise breakpoint localization that may—dependent on the involved fusion partner gene—influence even the outcome of patients.

<p>Within the past 22 years, many genetic aberrations involving the human
<italic>MLL</italic>
gene located on chromosome 11 band q23 have been described. Seventy-nine TPGs out of 121 are now characterized at the molecular level (see
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="sup1">Supplementary Table S4</xref>
and
<xref rid="tbl1" ref-type="table">Table 1</xref>
). Forty-five
<italic>MLL</italic>
fusion genes have been described by others, whereas 34 TPGs have been first identified at the Frankfurt DCAL. Additional seven loci are presented here, where neither a direct fusion partner gene nor a ‘spliced fusion' could be identified. Spliced fusions have been described in cases where the 5′-portion of the
<italic>MLL</italic>
gene (exons 1–9) is fused with the upstream region of another intact gene. In most of these cases, the last
<italic>MLL</italic>
exon splices to the second exon of this downstream located gene. Examples for this type of mechanism have already been described,

but will also be discussed below. Finally, additional 35 genetic loci were identified by cytogenetics but not further characterized. All yet characterized TPGs and the appropriate citation references were summarized in

<title>Genetic alterations resulting in genetic rearrangements of the human

<p>In general, human

rearrangements are initiated by a DNA damage situation, which induces DNA repair via the non-homologous-end-joining DNA repair pathway.

Genetic recombinations involving the human

gene are predominantly the result of ‘reciprocal chromosomal translocations' (
<italic>n</italic>
=51; see
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Figure 4</xref>
). On the basis of our analyses and the literature, reciprocal recombinations lead to fusions of the 5′-

gene portions (duplication of

gene segments coding either for introns 2–9, 2–11, 4–9, 4–11 or 3–8) are frequently observed in AML patients.

PTDs mediate dimerization of the MLL N terminus, a process that seems to be sufficient to mediate leukemogenic transformation.

We have observed
<italic>MLL</italic>
PTDs in 2 patients within the group of pediatric AML, 1 patient within the group of adult ALL and 65 patients within the group of adult AML. This demonstrates that

PTDs are predominantly detected in adult AML patients, in line with previously published data.

<italic>MLL</italic>
recombinations involving only chromosome 11 are based on two independent DNA strand breaks that are accompanied either by inversions or deletions on 11p or 11q (Inv, Del). Several recombinations have been characterized that belong to these two groups.

<italic>NRIP3</italic>

<italic>PICALM</italic>
and
<italic>PRPF19</italic>
are based on the inversion of a chromatin portion of 11p or 11q, leading to reciprocal
<italic>MLL</italic>
fusions. By contrast, a deletion on chromosome 11 fuses the 5′-portion of
<italic>MLL</italic>
directly to another gene located further downstream (
<italic>ARHGEF12</italic>
,
<italic>BCL9L</italic>
,
<italic>CBL</italic>
and
<italic>CEP164)</italic>
. In few cases, we observed that the 3′-truncated
<italic>MLL</italic>
is located upstream of another, intact gene. In that case, we could demonstrate an ‘
<italic>MLL</italic>
spliced fusion', which means that the last exon of the
<italic>MLL</italic>
gene splices directly to the second exon of the further downstream gene. This has been observed for the
<italic>MLL-DCPS</italic>
fusion. Beside the above-mentioned
<italic>DCPS</italic>
gene, other genes have been identified that can transcriptionally fuse to 5′-
<italic>MLL</italic>
sequences. These were
<italic>ZFYVE19</italic>
, and also the
<italic>MLL</italic>
fusion partners like

,

,
<italic>MYO1F</italic>
and
<italic>SEPT5.</italic>
In case of
<italic>MLLT1/ENL</italic>
, about 50% of all recombination events were spliced fusions,
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib48">48</xref>

and for
<italic>MLL-EPS15</italic>
fusions about 30%. Spliced fusions to

,
<italic>MYO1F</italic>
,
<italic>SEPT5, ZFYVE19</italic>
and
<italic>SEPT5</italic>
represent very rare events.</p>
<p>Beside reciprocal chromosomal translocations of
<italic>MLL</italic>
,
<italic>MLL</italic>
PTDs and 11p/q rearrangements (Del and Inv), additional genetic rearrangements were identified in the genomic DNA of analyzed leukemia samples. While the previous rearrangements are based on two independent DNA strand breaks, all other genetic events observed for the
<italic>MLL</italic>
gene represent more complex rearrangements with at least three or more DNA double-strand breaks. In these cases, the expected reciprocal
<italic>MLL</italic>
fusion gene cannot be detected, because other sequences will be fused to the 3′-portion of the
<italic>MLL</italic>
gene.</p>
<p>Complex
<italic>MLL</italic>
rearrangements are best represented by ‘three-way chromosomal translocations' involving three independent chromosomes and resulting in three different fusion genes. More complex is a mechanism that we referred to ‘chromosomal fragment insertions'. Either a fragment of chromosome 11 (including portions of the
<italic>MLL</italic>
gene) is inserted into another chromosome (Ins1), or
<italic>vice versa</italic>
, a fragment of another chromosome (including portions of a TPG) is inserted into the breakpoint cluster region of the
<italic>MLL</italic>
gene (Ins2). An insertion mechanism is required in those cases where the transcriptional orientation of a given TPG is not identical to the transcriptional orientation of the
<italic>MLL</italic>
gene. The
<italic>MLL</italic>
gene is transcribed in telomeric direction. TPGs with a transcriptional orientation in direction to the centromer are predominantly recombining with
<italic>MLL</italic>
by such a chromatin insertion mechanism. These genes are

,
<italic>SARNP</italic>
,
<italic>SEPT6</italic>
,
<italic>SORBS2/ARGBP2</italic>
and
<italic>VAV1.</italic>
In all these events at least three independent fusion genes will be generated. The most prominent gene frequently involved in the latter mechanism is the
<italic>MLLT10/AF10</italic>
gene (see below).</p>
<p>Finally, even more complex rearrangements may occur when ‘chromothripsis' comes into play. Chromothripsis has been identified as novel mechanism that generates many fusion alleles in a single event upon a single-cell division (for a review see Holland and Cleveland

Therefore, we also put emphasis on the analyses of complex
<italic>MLL</italic>
rearrangements. These 182 patient cases had three-way or four-way translocations resulting in more than two fusion alleles. From these 182 cases, 63 were identified to carry a single 3′-MLL gene portion that was not fused to any upstream gene (only non-coding loci were identified). By contrast, 119 reciprocal gene fusions were identified from which 80% were out-of-frame fusions. Only 24 reciprocal
<italic>MLL</italic>
fusion genes with in-frame fused exons were identified, being capable of expressing the C-terminal portion of the MLL protein under the control of promoters that derive from reciprocal fusion partner genes (

<italic>MLL</italic>
, whereas the above-mentioned 182 loci or genes were fused to the 3′-portion of the
<italic>MLL</italic>
gene. The latter fusions are termed ‘reciprocal TPGs' and are summarized in
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="sup1">Supplementary Table S5</xref>
. In all cases where the 3′-portion of the
<italic>MLL</italic>
gene was fused either to a chromosomal locus (non-coding) or in an out-of-frame manner to another gene, one would argue that no transcript is being made. However, the 3′-portion of the
<italic>MLL</italic>
is by itself sufficient to produce its own mRNA (starting at the
<italic>MLL</italic>
intron 11 to exon12 borderline), which can be translated into the MLL* protein.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib29">29</xref>
</sup>
This MLL* protein starts at a
<italic>bona fide</italic>
AUG start codon encoded by
<italic>MLL</italic>
exon 18, which results in a protein beginning within the MLL BD domain and ending at the end of the SET domain. The MLL* protein is processed by Taspase1 and results in a 97 kDa MLL*-N and an MLL-C protein fragment. This shorter version of MLL (∼235 kDa) loses all functions of the N-terminal portion, whereas functions of the C-terminal portion are retained (for example, H3K4 HMT activity).</p>
<p>Additional 19
<italic>MLL</italic>
rearrangements have been characterized where we could not identify the direct
<italic>MLL</italic>

<title>Discussion</title>
<p>Here, we present an update of the ‘
<italic>MLL</italic>
recombinome' associated with different hematologic malignancies, and in particular with acute leukemia (ALL and AML). All our analyses were performed by using small amounts of genomic DNA that were isolated from bone marrow or peripheral blood samples (
<italic>n</italic>
=1622) of leukemia patients. In some cases, we analyzed cDNA from a given patient to validate the presence of
<italic>MLL</italic>
spliced fusions, or to investigate alternative splice products generated from the investigated
<italic>MLL</italic>
fusion genes. The results of this study allow to draw several conclusions.</p>
<p>The applied long-distance inverse-PCR technique allowed to identify direct and reciprocal
<italic>MLL</italic>
fusions,
<italic>MLL</italic>
gene-internal duplications, chromosome 11 inversions, chromosomal 11 deletions and the insertion of chromosome 11 material into other chromosomes, or
<italic>vice versa</italic>
, the insertion of chromatin material of other chromosomes into the
<italic>MLL</italic>
gene (see
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Figure 4</xref>
). Moreover, we successfully extended our knowledge by analyzing more cases with complex
<italic>MLL</italic>
rearrangements. During the latter analyses, a large collection of reciprocal
<italic>MLL</italic>
fusions was identified. About 15% represent in-frame fusions that can be readily expressed into a reciprocal fusion protein. All other characterized reciprocal
<italic>MLL</italic>
alleles represented out-of-frame fusions with either a chromosomal locus or a reciprocal TPG, but even these events allow to transcribe and express a 5′-truncated MLL protein, termed MLL*.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib29">29</xref>
</sup>
This shorter version of MLL has no ability to bind Menin1, LEDGF or MYB, but still carries all enzymatic functions necessary to carry out H4K16 acetylations by the associated MOF protein or H3K4 methylation by the SET domain complex.</p>
<p>The analysis of 1622
<italic>MLL</italic>
fusion alleles led to the discovery of 34 novel TPGs in the past 10 years, of which 26 have already been described (see
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="sup1">Supplementary Table S4</xref>
). Eight TPGs are completely new and have not been published yet. Taken together with 45 MLL fusions that have been described by others (see
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="sup1">Supplementary Table S4</xref>
), we can present today a total of 79 ‘direct MLL fusions' that have been characterized at the molecular level. All these

fusions provide a rich source for future analyses of oncogenic MLL protein variants.</p>
<p>According to our data, the seven most frequent rearrangements of the
<italic>MLL</italic>
gene occur either with TPGs like
<italic>AFF1/AF4</italic>
,
<italic>MLLT3/AF9</italic>
,
<italic>MLLT1/ENL</italic>
,
<italic>MLLT10/AF10</italic>
,
<italic>ELL</italic>
,
<italic>MLLT4/AF6</italic>
or derive from gene-internal duplications (
<italic>MLL-PTDs</italic>
). Their occurrence differed significantly in the cohorts of infant, pediatric and adult leukemia patients. We also observed tendencies that correlate specific gene fusions with sex or age at diagnosis. Examples were that
<italic>MLLT3/AF9</italic>
(
<italic>P</italic>
=0.080),
<italic>MLLT10/AF10</italic>
(
<italic>P</italic>
=0.019) and
<italic>MLL-PTDs</italic>
(
<italic>P</italic>
=0.065) occur more frequently in the male group of patients, whereas the female patients were more affected by
<italic>MLL-AFF1/AF4</italic>
fusions (
<italic>P</italic>
=0.015). The most striking finding was that breakpoint distributions differ significantly when concerning distinct TPGs and age groups. It is well known that breakpoints in infants occur more frequently in
<italic>MLL</italic>
intron 11. We could validate this finding for
<italic>MLL-AFF1/AF4</italic>
and
<italic>MLL-MLLT1/ENL</italic>
fusions, but observed a completely contrary situation in case of
<italic>MLL-MLLT10/AF10</italic>
fusions. Quite surprising was the breakpoint distribution for
<italic>MLL-AF6</italic>
fusions that displayed a clear preference for
<italic>MLL</italic>
intron 9 recombinations. Again, these deviations from the observed mean breakpoint distribution are an argument for differences in the biology of the resulting fusion proteins with respect to oligomerization or factor binding dependency. This has to be investigated in more detail in the future to understand these observations.</p>
<p>An important translational aspect of this study is the establishment of patient-specific DNA sequences that can be used for monitoring MRD by quantitative PCR techniques. Owing to the fact that a given
<italic>MLL</italic>
fusion allele is genetically stable and a monoallelic marker for each tumor cell, a more reliable quantification and tracing of residual tumor cells becomes possible. For each of these 1622 acute leukemia patients at least one
<italic>MLL</italic>
fusion allele was identified and characterized by sequencing. Several prospective studies were already initiated and first published data verified the reliability of these genomic markers for MRD monitoring.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib4">4</xref>
</sup>
Therefore, the use of these MRD markers will contribute in the future to a better stratification of leukemia patients, which will help to further improve the outcome.</p>
<p>The analysis of the
<italic>MLL</italic>
recombinome allows to classify
<italic>MLL</italic>
fusion partner genes into functional categories. As discussed above, only very few TPGs are recurrently identified in different individuals, and moreover, with a significant frequency. On the basis of this study, these TPGs are
<italic>AFF1/AF4</italic>
,
<italic>MLLT3/AF9</italic>
,
<italic>MLLT1/ENL</italic>
,
<italic>MLLT10/AF10</italic>
and
<italic>MLLT4/AF6.</italic>
At least for the AFF1/AF4, MLLT3/AF9, MLLT1/ENL and MLLT10/AF10 protein exists a functional correlation, as all these proteins are organized within a protein complex (or different subcomplexes) that affect transcriptional elongation. AF4 is the docking platform for AF9 or ENL, which both interact (via MLLT10/AF10) to DOT1L.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib52">52</xref>
,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib53">53</xref>
</sup>
DOT1L enable methylation of lysine-79 residues of histone H3 proteins, a prerequisite for the maintenance of RNA transcription.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib54">54</xref>
,
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib55">55</xref>
</sup>
AF4 binds with its N-terminal portion to the P-TEFb kinase that phosphorylates the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II, DSIF, the NELF complex and UBE2A. This converts RNA POL A into POL E and allows gene transcription.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib56">56</xref>
</sup>
As a result, increased and extended H3K79 methylation signatures seem to accompany the presence of several fusion proteins (MLL-AFF1/AF4, AFF1/AF4-MLL, MLL-MLLT3/AF9, MLL-MLLT1/ENL, MLL-MLLT10/AF10 and MLL-MLLT4/AF6),
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib57">57</xref>
</sup>
whereas an additional increase in H3K4 methylation was only demonstrated by the presence of the reciprocal AFF1/AF4-MLL
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib56">56</xref>
</sup>
that causes pro-B ALL in C57Bl6 mice
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib50">50</xref>
</sup>
and was shown to cooperate with the RUNX1 protein.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib58">58</xref>
</sup>
Thus, all the major MLL fusions share a common pathway, which is not only functionally related but offers new and interesting venues to develop new drugs against this leukemias, for example, by the development of DOT1L inhibitors.
<sup>
<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="bib59">59</xref>
</sup>
This shared pathway and the effects of certain MLL fusion protein on basic transcription and on the epigenetic layer are summarized in
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig5">Figure 5</xref>
. The fusion proteins MLL-MLLT1/ENL, MLL-MLLT3/AF9 and MLL-MLLT10/AF10 recruit thereby the AFF1/AF4 complex, whereas the reciprocal AFF1/AF4-MLL fusion protein is able to perform exactly the same actions on RNA polymerase II and DOT1L. Thus, future therapies addressing either the inhibition of DOT1L, P-TEFb or blocking the interaction of the MLL N terminus with MENIN1/LEDGF/MYB are promising new ways to address these leukemias. In addition, the inhibition of Taspase1 would help to inactivate the AFF1/AF4-MLL fusion protein, as the uncleaved fusion protein is rapidly degraded by SIAH1 and SIAH2.

</p>
<p>In summary,
<italic>MLL</italic>
rearrangements are associated with poor outcome in pediatric and adult acute leukemia. As outlined above, the systematic analysis of the
<italic>MLL</italic>
recombinome allows one to draw conclusions on certain aspects of the hematomalignant transformation processes. We also present additional information as
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="sup1">Supplementary data</xref>
files (see
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="sup1">Supplementary Tables S6–8</xref>
), which contain general information about the investigated patient cohort, the analyzed T-ALL cases (
<italic>n</italic>

<italic>n</italic>

<italic>MLL</italic>
recombinome will be continued and provided as free-of-charge service to any collaborators.</p>

The four most frequent MLL fusions, MLL-ENL, MLL-AF9, MLL-AF10 and AF4-MLL, are either interacting directly with the AF4 complex or are mimicking the AF4 complex in case of AF4-MLL. The crucial components within the AF4 complex are the P-TEFb kinase and the H3K79 HMT DOT1L protein. Hyperactive AF4 or AF4-MLL is strongly enhances the transcriptional processes. In addition, changes in the steady-state AF4 complex stability is causing extended H3K79me2/3 signatures. Future inhibitory strategies are indicated in red.</p>
